In January and July, we do The Five.

The Five is a series of 4 facials. They are documented, and the group is capped at 5 people.

Though the idea behind Feminist Facials is that the photos don’t actually matter, but in running a business… they kinda do.

We’re social creatures. We need social proof.

So, twice a year, we offer an exchange: you get 25% off 4 consecutive feminist facials, we get to use your images from those Feminist Facials for marketing materials.

Facial Testimonials
I signed up for facials with Chryssa

because I loved the way she talked about them, and I’m a regular acupuncture patient of hers so knew I would be getting a great treatment, regardless. To say how surprised I am with the changes of my face is a complete understatement. My morning puffiness has been gone for weeks - GONE - and I swear I’m just more lifted, especially in the cheek area. I didn’t know acupuncture could do this to a face!

I can see myself in my face again.

I signed up for a series of Feminist Facials because I didn’t want to get botox, but this is so much more than just liking the way I look better. This is me being reminded of who I am again.

what’s involved in an acupuncture facial?

We focus on is the underlying structure of your face.

We do a lot of manual work: facial massage to learn the lay of the land (because all faces are different!), gua sha to increase circulation and encourage lymphatic movement, and cupping for fascial release.

To be clear, our Signature Feminist Facial is not your esthetician’s facial: we don’t do extractions; we don’t focus on skin-care.

It’s still an acupuncture treatment, but we focus less on putting a ton of needles in the face to address individual wrinkles and instead use acupuncture judiciously for muscular release.

Many clients note that there’s a lifting effect to the treatments as individual sessions, and then marvel at the staying power when those treatments are layered on each other.

It’s a full body acupuncture treatment, too! so as with all acupuncture treatments, you’re left on your own for awhile to relax, sleep, meditate… whatever works for you in that time.

These treatments are safe during pregnancy. Make sure to notify your practitioner of any history of migraines, vertigo, or high blood pressure.

can I do botox and fillers with these facials?

You can! We insist on a 2-week wait post-getting-any-injectables, but then it’s fair game.

There aren’t many special accommodations needed for Botox; with fillers, we are careful with cupping pressure to make sure everything stays put.

Feminist Facials have also been used successfully to help gently move years-old filler from the cheek area.

Make sure to let your practitioner know of any major or minor facial procedures you’ve had done.

It's been 2 weeks! I want to be one of the 5.
